Background: Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), OpenAI Limited Partnership, San Francisco, CA, USA is an artificial intelligence language model gaining popularity because of its large database and ability to interpret respond various queries. Although it has been tested by researchers in different fields, performance varies depending on the domain. We aimed further test medical field. Methods: used questions from Taiwan’s 2022 Family Medicine Board Exam, which combined both...
A quick and efficient computer program was developed in order to resolve the peaks from thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve. The designed be easily used on any MS Windows-based with a graphical user interface. In this program, new method based general one-trap TL equation adopted analyse curve traditional first-order, second-order general-order kinetics model. described here, approximation, generates interpolates relevant parameters data. tested simulated experimental data results were found...
This HIPAA-compliant study was exempt from institutional review board approval because the 10 image data sets were deidentified in Osteoarthritis Initiative database, and they processed analyzed without any clinical information being accessed. The purpose of this to prospectively evaluate efficiency reproducibility semiautomated graph-cut method (SA method) segmentation knee cartilage compare its performance with that conventional manual delineation (M method). Two radiologists independently...
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the doubling time, frequency, and features on dynamic CT extrahepatic needle tract implantation malignant neoplasms after sonographically guided percutaneous biopsy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The aim of this study was to describe the CT and sonographic findings hepatic visceral larva migrans Toxocara canis.Fifty-four patients (44 men, 10 women; age range, 30-80 years; mean age, 53 years) with serologically confirmed canis underwent evaluation liver (n = 25), sonography 48), or both. Two radiologists used consensus for retrospective findings. Correlation between presence severity abnormalities on images degree peripheral eosinophilia assessed.Seventeen (68%) 25 who had single...
To evaluate the ability of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Gd-EOB-DTPA in comparison non-enhanced and spiral computed tomography (CT) to provide additional information for classification characterization hepatocellular carcinoma.Forty patients histopathology-proven carcinoma were selected this subgroup analysis from a phase-III multicenter study 235 known or suspected liver lesions. The primary was proportion correctly classified characterized by combined...
Percutaneous interventional procedures under image guidance, such as biopsy, ethanol injection therapy, and radiofrequency ablation play important roles in the management of hepatocellular carcinomas. Although uncommon, may result tumor implantation along needle tract, which is a major delayed complication. Implanted tumors usually appear one or few, round oval-shaped, enhancing nodules tract on CT, from intraperitoneum through intercostal abdominal muscles to subcutaneous cutaneous tissues....
We aimed to investigate whether the standardized uptake values, volumetric parameters and intratumoral heterogeneity of fluorine-18-fludeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) could predict regional lymph node (rLN) metastasis in oesophageal cancer.51 patients with surgically resected cancer were included present study. The (18)F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/CT findings rLN compared histopathological results. metabolic was represented by factor (HF), which determined for each patient. Univariate...
This study was aimed to define the predictive values of preoperative Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) parameters and compared effective for prediction overall survival (OS) recurrent free (RFS) in locally advanced esophageal cancer (LAEC).This included 44 patients with LAEC who received F-18 PET/CT. Univariate multivariate analyses were used calculate survival, curves estimated by clinical factors PET/CT-derived...
Purpose To retrospectively compare the diagnostic performance of different noninvasive criteria HCC including LI-RADS, OPTN-UNOS, AASLD, NCCN, EASL-EORTC, KLCSG-NCC. Materials and methods We reviewed medical records 3,491 pathologically examined liver lesions from January-2011 to January-2015 in our institution. 195 133 patients (M:F = 100:33) with chronic hepatitis B/C and/or cirrhosis for any etiology were finally included study, 98 ≥ 2 cm, 72 between 1–2 25 < 1 cm. The main comparison was...
The purpose of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the effect body weight and iodine dose on aortic hepatic contrast enhancement in pediatric patients who underwent 64-MDCT abdomen pelvis.Eighty-seven consecutive (50 boys 37 girls; median age, 12.1 years; age range, 3.8-17.6 years) standard abdominopelvic CT with a scanner. Contrast medium (350 mg I/mL) injected using power injector at 2 mL/s followed by 15-20 mL saline flush. According protocol, volume administered approximately 1.8...
To determine the diagnostic value of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced MRI for differentiation well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (WD-HCCs) from other nodules in cirrhotic liver.This study included 114 patients with 216 histologically confirmed nodules, i.e., 23 dysplastic (DNs), 37 WD-HCCs, and 156 moderately or poorly differentiated HCCs (MD-/PD HCCs), who underwent SPIO-enhanced at 3.0T. T2-weighted fast-spin echo T2*-weighted gradient recalled (GRE) sequences before...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value maximum standard uptake (SUV max) measured by 18-F fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients.We reviewed medical records SCLC patients who were given a histological diagnosis from June 2008 2014. 82 satisfied inclusion criteria enrolled for final analysis (male n = 75, female 7). relationship between SUV max and overall...
: The goal of the present study was to determine whether volumetric parameters such as metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) measured by sequential F-FDG PET/CT imaging could be used prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) who received preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy.A 64 LARC were included current study. All evaluated before after 45 Gy radiotherapy oral capecitabine chemotherapy. Initial, second, percent changes...
The present study was aimed to investigate whether volumetric parameters measured by sequential F-18 fluoro-D-glucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) could be used as prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer (LAEC) who received preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT).A total of 61 LAEC were included the current study. All evaluated FDG PET/CT before and after 46 Gy radiotherapy a concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Initial,...
Visual sensors combined with video analysis algorithms can enhance applications in surveillance, healthcare, intelligent vehicle control, human-machine interfaces, etc. Hardware solutions exist for analysis. Analog on-sensor processing feature image sensor integration. However, the precision loss of analog signal prevents those from realizing complex algorithms, and they lack flexibility. Vision processors realize high GOPS numbers by combining a processor array parallel operations decision...
